Windows 10: What are Win10 Backup options?

How many different ways to protect your files in Win-Ten are there?

I did a backup and noticed there also is a system image option. Is this the same thing? also I created a restore point. How is this different from a back up/system image? One is a OS copy only and the other copies OS and files? What about Windows 10 Recovery Disk Image?

Thanks for any help. Have a nice day!

Will Windows 10 have the same backup routine that Windows 7 Pro has? Once I'm sure that the upgrade to Windows 10 is working OK can I erase my backup drive and create new backup and system image?

what should be done with backups of win7 once upgrade to win10 is complete?

 

Backup and Restore Windows 10 After Upgrade From Windows 8.1

Dear community,

I'm using Asus C550CM (HDD+SSD).

I just update my Win8.1 to Win10 automatically. All my data is ok.

Is there any way to fully backup and restore my current condition?

- How to do clean Win10 installation?

- How to get clean Win10 installer?

- What is the different between backup and recovery in Windows 10?

Thank you

 

A system image is a snapshot of your system at the time you make the backup. It is everything, the operating system, your files, the lot.

Restore points are a poor option imo, a get out of jail card that might work and fix any issue but they are nowhere near in the same league as a system image. They simply return key points of the system back to how they were at the time the restore point was made.

A recovery disc allows you to access your Windows image file (assuming you use Windows own backup program) and also offers a few simple repair options. You use the recovery disc (or bootable USB drive) when Windows won't load. It gets you in.

 

Thanks. I think I can now make an informed decision. *Smile
